Ozark Roots Native Plants

Come on out to see me and a bunch of other great local shops! I’ve got a mix of perennials, my calendars and other gifts featuring my plant photography with me.

I haven’t had any asters to sell this year, but you can bet I’m kicking myself for that, and collecting aster seed for next year, because they’re a pollinator favorite and supremely indifferent to the autumn drought that’s currently withering the region. Who needs mums when we have asters? Just as much fall color, a native part of the ecosystem, and they come back year after year. I’m sure some of my fellow growers will be selling some this Saturday at . Please join us!

I already featured post oak in a post this year, but it gets another in honor of becoming the official mascot of this renamed and rebranded nursery (thanks to .design.co for the logo!). This beautiful and resilient tree encapsulates the Ozark Roots mission: ecologically vital, drought-resistant and an important piece of this region’s adaptation to climate change.

Please come see me and other local native plant growers from 10 am to 2 pm this Saturday outside in Lowell for my last big sale of the year! I’ll have some post oaks along with a few dozen other types of perennials — it’s a little counterintuitive, but fall’s a great time to plant. And thank you for following along as I get this little business’s legs under it. It’s been a great first year of growing, and I am so excited to grow even bigger next year.
